I think that there are a few things that the "well" readers hope you will never discover.

We suspect that you are malingering when you telling us you have a mental illness. The same applies to any invisible illness. At the same time, we do not want to treat you normally and then be blamed for any accidents or incidents.

We do not want to be judged by the company we keep. We want to be included in certain more "normal" groups.

We also hope that if we pretend everything is normal, the problems in the world will never knock on our door.
